The Rhodesian Socialist Union suggests that our two great peoples nations are drawn closer together by joint embassies being constructed in our great nations.

Is this possible?

Greetings Comrade,

This is most agreeable, and we will gladly establish an embassy in your great country. We will send Mr. Wenceslao Carrillo to your capital, to be our Ambassador in your country. Mr. Carrillo once was a prominent leader of the Spanish Socialist Party. We will give you all the support you need with the establishment of your embassy in Madrid.

President Francisco Frutos
General Secretary of Partido Comunista de España (PCE)
Commonwealth of Communist Portugal-Spain

Dear President Frutos of the Commonwealth of Communist Portugal-Spain,
The United Socialist states of Wagdog desire to open an embassy in your beautiful capital of Madrid, and welcome your diplomats to our humble island capital of Tailville DR on Bougainville. Our only regret is that the many recent diplomatic crises, imposed upon us by the imperialists surrounding our haven for revolutionary society in the Pacific, have prevented any earlier reply. But now that they have been peacefully neutralized, most notably by the impending Singapore annexation conference and Japanese assurances to us of Filipino rights under their rule, we have much greater freedom of action. Hopefully, this can be used for our countries' mutual benefit and the advancement of Socialism still further.
Sincerely,
Cde. Carolinus Horridus,
General Secretary,
United Socialist States of Wagdog RCC

To: The Commonwealth of Communist Portugal-Spain

La República Democrática Federal del Perú y Bolivia would like to exchange embassies with the CCPS, for the mutual benefit of our countries and the mutual benefit of socialism.

General Secretary,

We are most pleasant to exchange embassies with the United Socialist States of Wagdog RCC. We are convinced that socialist countries should cooperate internationally against the capitalistic countries. Mr. Pedro Solbes Mira will be the future ambassador in USSW. We're looking forward to increase the trade and cooperation between our two countries.

The Commonwealth of Communist Portugal-Spain agrees to the exchange of embassies as we are convinced that it will benefit our two countries as well as the mutual benefit of socialism. We will send Javier Solana to be the ambassador of CCPS in La República Democrática Federal del Perú y Bolivia.

The construction of the Euro-Africa-tunnel has started

State controlled newspapers and TV-channels are reporting about the giant infrastructure project that will connect the two protectorates Spain and Morocco. The tunnel will be 40 km long, and it will link Cape Malabata in Morocco with Punta Paloma in Spain. The total cost for the project is estimated to be somewhere around €5-8 billion.

It will take about ten years to construct the tunnel - which in fact will be three tunnels, two railway tunnels, and one service tunnel. There will also be a couple of pipelines between Spain and Morocco, but there is no information about their purpose.

Passing through the tunnel will be free for the people in the Commonwealth of Communist Portugal-Spain, but for foreigners there will be a fairly high fee.

To The CCPS
From: State Transport Minister Pieter Mulder

The Rhodesian Socialist Union appeals to our fellow Socialist brothers from Spain, and are asking to be allowed to send engineers and several experts to observe this great engineering projects. This would provide us with experience in the tunnel building field, and closer our two greats industries. It is also of general interest to our nation.

Please reply soon.

Dear Mr. Pieter Mulder,

We will welcome your engineers and experts with open arms. We're sure that they will contribute with much appreciated knowledge, and it's always good to exchange experiences about large engineering projects. As a fellow Socialist nation The RSU will of course have access to this tunnel, once completed.

To: The CCPS
From: The United Socialist States of Wagdog
Dear Comrade President Frutos,
Of late the United States has refused many of my nation's fine offers to return surplus American weaponry, which we liberated from imperialist use during our revolution six years ago. Although I am open to any eleventh-hour offer they may make, even if busy parleying with the FPU at Singapore for the moment, I am not an inflexible fool either.
What would your nation say of a simple exchange: we give you six B-52H Stratofortress bombers and what associated munitions we can spare (notably including all our AGM-86C conventional air-launched cruise missiles, useless to our B-1Bs due to START treaty restrictions), and you give us the production rights to your fine Juan Carlos I "BPE" class assault aircraft carriers?
We will pay whatever annual fees you may request in addition, should they be affordable within our defense budget (14% of GDP, or some $3.55B USD; 11% last year but raised to cover modernization and operational costs). Should you also desire to reverse-engineer what we give, more power to you whatever the Americans might say; and too bad for them. It is high time the Americans reckoned with the rise of Socialism in this world again, and a CCPS armed with a strategic air force plus a carrier navy for Wagdog, would force them to do so!
Your Comrade in the Revolution,
Carolinus Horridus
General Secretary, RCC, USSW

OOC: The "RCC" is just an abbreviation for "Revolutionary Command Council," our Cabinet and supreme organ's name. When a Secretary lists their affiliation, they have to indicate their RCC position. We'll change the format since we see how confusion can arise with our old usage. Our country name is just as in the From line, short form USSW.

Dear comrade Horridus,

We will of course help you with this issue. Give us the six B-52H's, and we will give you the blueprints for the Juan Carlos carrier without cost. The only additional fee we want, is one million USD for every carrier you build.
We also want to add that you're not allowed to sell or give away the blueprints or the carriers you build. Every single carrier build by you must be used by the Wagdoggian navy only. When the carriers reach an age of 30 years, you're however allowed to sell them or do whatever you want.

This will for sure benefit our two great countries!

Done and done; your conditions are only fair and, in any case, building carriers on our own account is likely to irritate the Japanese and Americans enough by itself. It seems you and the Rhodesians are the only reasonable arms businessmen in this world of late. We're still trying to license the LAV-25s from Vetaka, and we haven't heard back after they charged more than our entire annual defense budget for those plus Leopard C2 tanks. At this rate we think simply going Rhodesian (Ratels, Olifants and such) again is probably a better idea...
Anyway, I've just ordered the six B52s in question dispatched your way by non-stop flight through neutral airspace over Taiwan and points westward, escorted by fighters and tankers to the maximum range those can fly. The bombers shall have no weapons aboard, these being shipped your way in merchant ships along with all our spare parts for the B52s, and shall be flying civilian routes inasmuch as possible to avoid "encounters" en route with any paranoid nations' air defenses. On the bombers' arrival at Rota AB, we ask only due accommodation for our tired crews, and their return home by civilian flights as soon as convenient for you. Additionally, although we can only send a small quantity of munitions your way by ship, to lower odds of American interception and preserve our own needed stockpile, we will gladly send you some experts to aid in patterning the spare parts we send your way for CCPS production. If you desire to build whole bombers even, we will help where we can but cannot promise too much; the Americans guard their secrets well and we cannot risk war with them more than we already have.
Our thanks go out to you for such prompt consideration, and your generous conditions for the carriers' licensure. Hopefully, we'll be able to do more such business in the future to great mutual profit.

Sincerely,
Carolinus Horridus
General Secretary of the Revolutionary Command Council,
United Socialist States of Wagdog

The United Stani Provinces would like to request an embassy in your nation, we have noticed your strong relations with Wagdog, and the RSU, whom we are allies with, we share similar causes and will gladly allow you to build an embassy in our nation to maintain strong relations.
